Adding Existing Nodes

After you have installed a Transporter or Agent, you need to add it to NAKIVO Backup & Replication so that the Transporter or Agent can be used for backup, replication, and recovery tasks.

 

Important

Before adding the existing Transporter to your NAKIVO Backup & Replication, make sure that this Transporter is not used by any other Director as it may lead to unforeseen errors.

 

Refer to the following topics:
